Description:

The Coombe House

The Coombe House has been under the same family ownership since 1988. Many of our staff have been with us for many years and so get to know our residents well, providing a friendly, supportive and respectful environment in their later years.

Our residential care home is located within a rural Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty at Streatley, 5 miles south of Wallingford and 10 miles west of Reading, Berkshire. The village of Goring is nearby, linked to Streatley by an iconic bridge over the River Thames. There are picturesque views of the Swan Hotel, river, weirs and Goring Lock and this stunning location offers attractive views of the surrounding Oxfordshire countryside and the Goring Gap. We strive to be the first choice for you or your relative looking for care homes in Reading, Streatley, Goring, Pangbourne, Newbury, Wallingford, Wantage and Abingdon areas.

We understand that you will be looking at a number of alternative care homes, and it can be hard to know what qualities to look for. We always suggest a visit to us would enable you to appreciate the pleasant, caring atmosphere for our residents that we strive hard to maintain. We support residents in doing things for themselves and maximising their independence, including keeping contact with the outside community. You can read more on our activities page.
